The tinsel flowing off the branches of the Christmas tree next to the air conditioning unit, reflecting twinkly lights off the ornaments, reminds me of one thing: It’s Halloween time in Bullitt County.

While I think it’s scary to see Yuletide decorations in October, it still doesn’t take away from the fun autumnal season and the biggest of the Fall holidays.

SHEPHERDSVILLE – What was hoped to be a long week for Bullitt County volleyball teams, turned into a short week as all three of the local teams lost on Monday in the first-round of the Sixth Region Tournament.

Bullitt East has had the strongest team in Bullitt County this fall and coming off a win over Whitefield Academy in the 24th District Tournament before falling to Mercy in the final, the Lady Chargers appeared poised for a deep run this week.

HEBRON ESTATES – Saturday afternoon football doesn’t seem to suit the North Bullitt Eagles very well.

That was the lesson most obvious this past weekend as the green and gold played host to Callow ay County in a non-district game. Despite leading 12-7 midway through the second quarter, the Eagles came up short, falling 35-12 on a blustery afternoon.

SHEPHERDSVILLE – For the second time in three seasons, the final seedings for the post-season in Class 5-A, District 4 won’t be decided until the final night of the regular season.

That is because Shelby County, North Bullitt and Bullitt Central each finished with a 1-2 record in district play. Bullitt East won the district with a 3-0 mark and already knows that they will play host to North Hardin (1-9) when the play-offs begin on Nov. 8.
